About Me

Super chilled and love to meet new people 🏝☀️🙌

I honestly live to travel and experience as much as possible.

I absolutely love the culture of couchsurfing and use it to meet unique people everywhere I go. Meeting locals and travelers from all over the world is the best way to travel.

Currently a student with an eclectic range of interests (mixed martial arts, reading, gym, philosophy, economics) and I'm always keen to learn more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing to travel and experience the world in a far more intimate, interesting and unique way through spending time with locals, experiencing their culture and creating some amazing memories.

I'm also here to make life long global friends and give people a friend from another part of the world. Anyone who hosts me is always welcome to stay with me and as soon as I'm able I will be hosting as many people as possible and paying it forward.

I’m currently hosting some people in Sydney after the CS community was so generous to me as I travelled the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2015: travelled to Uganda and worked on a building site for a school/community in rural Gulu, building a dorm room brick by brick.

2016: began working with a touring magician as a stage hand, which has taken me to some incredible places, caused me to meet some fascinating people. It has also given me a real insight into the extent of preparation, skill, and passion that goes into the performing arts.

2017: lucky enough to backpack solo around the world for 3 months and do everything from playing with tigers and elephants to hot air ballooning in Cappadocia

2018: travelled Vietnam and experienced chucking ducks, riding motorbikes and making some unreal memories

2019: so far travelled across Cambodia, worked with rescue elephants, explored the temples of Angkor and had the most magical time on a secluded beach of one of the islands

More memories to be made...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love people, I'm a very sociable person and anything I can do with my friends I enjoy no matter what it is. One of my main reasons for being on CS is to connect with people from all over the world and build a global network of friends.

I also live an eclectic life and have lots of fun stories plus I love to make new ones. So we can have great convos and I can tell you about where to travel and what to do in Sydney if you ever come here.

I love to talk about travel, stories, experiences and really get to know someone through their actions.
